springfield was the capital at the time so douglas spent time in springfield, as well. because it was a small community, they went to the same functions. they got along fairly well. they were both rivals for mary taught lincoln -- mary todd lincoln. abraham lincoln obviously won. some locals say he lost, but he obviously one. douglas seems like he was existing lincoln. -- eclipsing lincoln. his career went so fast. he was elected to congress. he became a well-known u.s. senator. lincoln spent four terms in the legislature, one term in congress, and his political career was over for a while. it seemed to douglas' star was rising and lincoln's was falling. him and douglas had major disagreements. in 1858, they ran for senate against each other. douglas won, but rather than lincoln getting discouraged, lincoln had made a national name for himself. douglas agreed to debates. it put mcginn on the map. two years later, he ran for president and defeated douglas and two other candidates. that's reflected in this building, a building another one served. douglas died in 1861 befo

in springfield. as an important time for some people because this is around the time that abraham lincoln lived in springfield. owner of this home is benjamin edwards and his family. , who you seether on the wall behind, he owned another place called edwards house. abraham lincoln married his wife 's sister. we have some of the furniture from edward's house today, that has a connection to abraham lincoln. behind us is the courting couch. this is the couch where abraham lincoln -- in their former days. get any closer to a place where abraham lincoln sat. >> next, we go to the abraham lincoln library and museum to look at abraham lincoln's personal book collection. >> we are in the abraham lincoln presidential library, down in the stacks. we are in the most secure area in our facility, the vault. this is where we keep more than 1600 documents written by abraham lincoln, as well as many of the pieces he owned, objects he owned and interacted with during his lifetime. today, i want to show you some books

when lincoln was in springfield when they argued it. he had just gone to congress after it passed as the second illinois constitution of 1848. i don't understand this gap. no one picked up on it. i was wondering if you had come across anything about that. >> lucas should take this one, but they are drawing from the northwest ordinance. that is the link. that is the lineage. >> spec is back to 1787. this was 1848. less than 12 years before the debate came up again. >> wouldn't it carry more weight to take it from the northwest ordinance and the state constitution? that makes some sense. yeah. >> as you know, by reading those debates, in the 1847 illinois constitution convention, there was a great deal of talk about race. shocking, the degree of over racism that gets expressed in that debate. it wound up paving the way for a statute that for made black people from moving into illinois. >> perhaps my question would be professor,ward the but anyone else is welcome to respond. the late editor of the u.s. grant papers once said that carl sand
